Hmm, I guess that 'fedorabugs' (which I'm semi-in charge of) is used
for the same stuff (as well as bugzilla access), and all that we
require for a barrier to entry there is cla_done, manually checked by
the sponsor (read: me) before approving the membership.

It would be nice if various sub-groups of the project could agree on a
sane barrier for entry, for exactly the reasons that you mention that
I hadn't thought of before - namely voting.

Note that I'm not against the requirement to be "known" prior to being
sponsored/approved, but I think that the requirement probably needs to
extend to all groups if we're going to make it a requirement.

Now the big question - is FAS2 going to make all of this obsolete?

Yep.

Done!
